Yeah! Way to stick it to the man!

So is all the Rochefort 10 been released? It's hard to imagine it going as quickly as it did. I saw inventory listed and then found it gone by the time I got to the store.

The University Plaza location in Dundas had 192 bottles listed on Friday. On Sunday they had ~80 listed. Now they have none. I have never seen anything sell that quickly around here.
A shark on whisky is mighty risky. A shark on beer is a beer engineer.

It hasn't even been listed in Peterborough, but yet it's on the shelf.

Online inventory can't always be trusted.

I confess I bought all 192 just to show the LCBO honchos that Hamilton was deserving to be part of a Brewery Spotlight....what the heck its good till 2018.

No it hasn't all made it to the stores yet. I was a Markham and a Richmond Hill store today both had it listed as stock and all was gone by the time I got there. Picked up 12 bottles in Scarborough today.

One (helpful) LCBO person printed out the distribution for me to the stores.
Richmond Hill as 240 bottles more on order due in.
Bayview Village the same.

Wilson and Dufferin location has 100 cases (yes 2,400 bottles) on order. They will be the kings of Rochefort 10 this time looks like.

There are 4416 bottles in the warehouse in Whitby (the above likely where some of that is going).

Cheers,
ST

I'm not sure the website inventory is at all accurate. Yesterday it showed 100 at RBC plaza but I never saw any on the shelf all day. Today it's gone. Today it shows 38 at morningside, but the store manager has never seen it. He looked at his system and said there was 4000 bottles at summer hill!

Yes, the mountain of Rochefort 8 that was at Summerhill a few weeks ago has been replaced by a mountain of Rochefort 10.

I also noticed that Unibroue 17 is $3 off now (until the end of January, if it lasts that long).
Here's to the slow path.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely buy 2 or 3 at that price.

Yeah, this inventory is changing faster than anything I've ever seen. Crazy!

I'm heading out to Summerhill momentarily to put a big dent in their Rochefort 10 inventory with orders from various bars around the city so watch out! The warehouse is out of Rochefort 8 right now so there won't be any store replenishments until the new year but Summerhill still has lots of it even if it's not stacked up on the floor.

JESUS! Summerhill has 4054 bottles listed in stock right now! That's absurd.

There were 48 bottles of R10 listed in Brantford on monday. I went in to grab some, they couldn't find it. Next day there's 0 stock. :( If someone is hoarding this, they suck.

esprit said that '720 cases of Rochefort 10 arrived in the LCBO warehouse last week. That''s 17,280 bottles so should be enough to go around.'
